Absolutely. Look how FReepers actually came home and announced on the election thread how proud they were to vote for Newt in Ohio. They and others like them gave Romney the win there.
This isn’t working. I appreciate everyone voting their favorite. But if FR sticks to the endorsement of Newt that helped so much before SC, it will only assist Romney at this point. And we know JR doesn’t want that.
The reason I wouldn’t want newt as president is because he has a deeply needy personality, probably from childhood, and he will be more motivated to fill his need for adoration and importance than to fulfill our need for a sane conservative steward of the country.
How Newt behaves when faced with this information, that his run from now on only helps split the conservative vote and give Romney that edge, will demonstrate whether he lets his desire for self importance or his love of country win out.

You’re absolutely right. It won’t make any difference to Newt or his supporters, but you’re nevertheless insightfully correct.
